Watersaver

Native client wrapper

The Watersaver Android app is a native client wrapper, which serves HTML5 content via the WebView component. It mixes native controls with WebViews wherever this makes sense in terms of usability.

Custom keyboard

One of the fun bits of this project was that I had to create a custom keyboard in Android to make a super fast water meter level editing experience for the users.

M50

Same app, different look and feel.

The M50 Android app is similar to the Bluesound Android app, but has a different skin (a lighter look-and-feel, where the Bluesound Android app is pretty dark, like the Bluesound brand). I suggested using the sliding menu pattern for navigation. And since the Navigation Drawer was not available at the time I used at the time was Jeremy Feinstein’s SlidingMenu library, which worked fine as well. In fact, I used it on both sides (on request of the client). The menu on the right is used for music player discovery, which is done via multicast DNS (mDNS), which is fully compatible with Apple’s Bonjour service on the Mac.

Bluesound

Remote control for a high definition Wifi music player

The Bluesound Android app is a remote control for a suite of Bluesound music players. The Bluesound brand is developed by The Lenbrook Group who have also created the NAD Electronics brand. A leading brand in high performance home theatre and hi-fi systems.

Local library, music services and internet radio

The Bluesound devices play local music from a hard drive, USB-stick or network folder, but also a multiple of music services like WiMP and Rdio and internet radio stations like TuneIn and Aupeo. More services are added frequently.

Multi-room devices

All your favourite music in one place, with one remote controller, that was the vision of the Bluesound team. In one place? If you have multiple players in your setup the players can connect with each other and play music in sync, across all the connected players.

Rewritten from scratch

The Bluesound vision and project started years ago. I was contacted to pick-up the project, where another team could not deliver. I’ve rewritten the app from scratch and introduced the Android Design patterns as much as I could, and as much as that would fit Lenbrook’s vision with the Bluesound client apps.
